Vanilla Goddess in the Garden of Thorns
Broken and bruised
She lay her body to rest upon
His Aztec altar
With soft young skin
And hands used for ill
Her tried to taste her porcelain
Vanilla goddess in the garden of thorns
And the prettiest necklace adorned her
The velvet noose
He tied around her neck
Hail of language
Wind that taste of his breath
Snow that licked her skin
Like his serpentine tongue
The flowers fragranced with desperation
And the petals seemed hungy
As they tickled her naked skin
Vanilla goddess in the garden of thorns
Where the butterflies were all wil
She never wanted to leave
But she sparkled like that stars in the sky
She was the stars in his sky
And he was Adonis, burning like the sun
And when he burned too bright
The supernova exploded
And she found herself in cosmic baptism
Vanilla goddess in the garden of thorns
How she longs to sleep with the manticore tonight
